Female subjects in an experimental factorial design of
interventions for depression were randomly assigned to
one of four drug therapies (placebo, St. John's wort,
SSRI or TCA) and one of four non-drug therapies
(orientation session, light therapy, exercise or
cognitive therapy). There were no statistically
significant differences between group mean depression
scores on the basis of drug assignment for subjects
assigned to orientation, exercise or cognitive
therapy. In other words, SSRIs and St. John's wort only
"worked" to reduce depression when coupled with light
therapy, whereas cognitive therapy was effective
regardless of the drug to which subjects were also
assigned.

In a clinical trial of drug and non-drug interventions
to treat depression in female college students, Bear
(2001) reported that St. John's wort was only effective
for subjects who also received light therapy.

The only non-drug therapy that was consistently
effective across all drug therapies was cognitive
therapy, which was associated with lower group mean Beck
scores than the orientation group (b = -6.154, p
= .034).

Bear (2001) reported that "the only non-drug therapy
that was consistently effective across all drug
therapies was cognitive therapy, which was associated
with lower group mean Beck scores than the orientation
group (b = -6.154, p = .034)" (p. 205).

Original Source:

Among subjects assigned to light therapy, those who
received SSRIs and St. John's wort had significantly
lower depression scores than those assigned to placebo
drug (-6.231 and -14.538 respectively, p <
.05). There were no statistically significant
differences between group mean depression scores on the
basis of drug assignment for subjects assigned to
orientation, exercise or cognitive therapy.

In a study of depression therapies, use of St. John's
wort was associated with an average reduction of 14.538
points on Beck depression scores, compared to subjects
receiving placebo drug, for females also receiving light
therapy (Bear, 2001)

Many products have been promoted to reduce the risk of
falls among frail elderly individuals. Choosing which
products to adopt, however, involves more than simply
reading study findings that compare each product to
usual care, i.e. no use of safety devices at all. Is one
product better than another? Less expensive? Better
suited to the environment in which it will be used? How
acceptable will use of the product be to caregivers and
those receiving care? It is likely that thoughtful use
of a variety of products will result in the best
outcomes. The wise do not put all their eggs in one
basket.

Dumpty (1999) suggested the following questions about
fall prevention products:

Choosing which products to adopt, however, involves more
than simply reading study findings that compare each
product to usual care, i.e. no use of safety devices at
all. Is one product better than another? Less expensive?
Better suited to the environment in which it will be
used? How acceptable will use of the product be to
caregivers and those receiving care? It is likely that
thoughtful use of a variety of products will result in
the best outcomes. The wise do not put all their eggs in

interventions for depression were randomly assigned to
one of four drug therapies (placebo, St. John's wort,
SSRI or TCA) and one of four non-drug therapies
(orientation session, light therapy, exercise or
cognitive therapy). The post intervention Beck
depression scores were regressed on sets of dummy-coded
vectors representing the drug and non-drug interventions
and the interaction of drug and non-drug interventions.

Coeds were assigned randomly to all possible
combinations of the four non-drug therapies (light
therapy, exercise, cognitive therapy or a
non-therapeutic orientation session) and four drug
therapies (SSRIs, TCAs, St. John's wort or placebo). The
outcome was measured via the Beck depression
scale. (Bear, 2001).
